About Me

I have not visited many countries. Not even many places in Japan. That's why I am here because I want to be in my neighbors' lands and see what I've never seen.

THIS IS ABOUT MYSELF

I am such a talkative and quite sporty girl! Even tho not too girly, I love kids a lot! I am always starving for copious amounts of adventures in nature!
Very interested in sharing cultures and meeting new people with different perspective and paradigm! Really appreciate plurality! Say NO to racism.
Dislike stereotype between men and women, I presume men and women must be equal! you guess so?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friends say I can meet generous and kind people on Couchsuring. And that's why I am here.

Interests

I am not that too interested hanging out in malls. Shopping neither. I prefer to spend my time having adventure and being in nature to find tranquality. books, music, kids, teaching, history, movies, cooking, acting,writing, and EATING CHOCHOLATE!!! Don't ask me to sing otherwise I can't stop singing although my voice is damn bad!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Jazz and Acoustic so much! I can listen to almost every genre. Ed Sheeran, Micahel Buble, Lady Antebellum, Secondhand Serenade, Coldplay and many more. I also listen to old bands and singers such as Air Supply and MLTR. I watch movies a lot and enjoy every genre of movies. Addicted to Game of Thrones Movie Series, Insidious Saga, and all disney movies. Among all my favorite one is Tangled by Disney.
I am a collector of John Green, Paulo Coelho, Chicken Soup, Nicholas Spark, Supernova Saga, The Naked Traveler. Oh yeah because of The Naked Traveler Novels I really wanna travel the world. From all books I love, the best one is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I begin to understand about life after reading that novel. Whenever I feel so down I always read some chapters in that novel again and again. Never stop dreaming, keep yearning and pursing and I will see how "The universe conspires to make my dreams come true!"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a mission to travel some places in Indonesia before starting my university in Japan, but my parents were super duper protective because they wanted me to focus on my departure. Then, I lied to my mom, telling her that I wanted to stay in a friend's house just for a night. But actually the truth was I had backpack trip with my friend from Barcelona! And I made the schedule longer than what I had promised to mom! I was not afraid if they got mad at me, because they could not call my phone! There was no signal as we made a camp in a huge pine forest. Even if there would have been signal, I would have turned off my phone anyway just for rejecting any calls. That was the first time I felt so free! Apparently it was demanted! But, I had to train my parent for not being too much worried about me.
My mom called me rebel. My dad called me stubborn. My sister called me warrior. And I called myself adventure and tranquility seeker!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like meeting new people and listening to their stories because I know can learn from their experiences. I never stop thinking to solve problems. problems in every exam question,work,life and many more.That's why I like walking in tranquility because I can keep my brain thinking, reflecting what has occurred in a day then learn from my mistake.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you how to cook Indonesian food, because I love cooking very much! Interested to know about Indonesian dances and culture? Well I can share those things!
Moreover, I am a story teller, and also a story telling teacher. I can entertain yourself with Indonesian folklores, my own fiction stories and fairy tales, and also with my acting skill! If you need any advice to feel comfortable while talking in public, I can absolutely help you! If there are some little kids in your house, it will be my pleasure to take care of themselves!
Now I am learning Japanese language. I can teach you basic Japanese if you want to learn. But, if you are a native Japanese speaker you should help me to improve my Japanese!
